LEFT TO GIVE

None of us get where we're going alone.

Every young person and family who comes through our doors is in the middle of a journey. Some are just stepping up to the doors. Some are halfway down the road. Some are finally arriving somewhere steady.

From October 12 through December 31, we’re sharing their stories, and the stories of the staff, volunteers, board members, donors, and partners who sat beside them along the way. A new stop opens every week. Come back every Monday to hear a new story of transformation.

Your gift is the next stop on someone’s journey.

STORIES FROM OUR COMMUNITY

Ride Along With Us, One Stop Each Week

For more than two decades, The Matthews House has walked beside youth and families, from family support and youth programs to The Landing, Northern Colorado’s only youth shelter.

This book gathers their stories, and the stories of the people who rode alongside them. A new stop opens every week through December 31. Come back each Monday to read a new story and gain a new understanding of how your support changes the lives of families and youth in Northern Colorado.
